That Sam Fels, he's alright when bringing the spite and funnies

Few classic lines:

"Moreover, you turned a giant swath of people into rooting for a Boston team. You know how hard that is? Most outside New England consider Boston sports to be the athletic world's shingles. Singularly unpleasant. And we all became fervent fans of theirs these past two weeks. Brad Marchand(notes) is a human nut-punch, and yet we were all leaping through the air like he was when he scored"

"Your other neighbors there in the West have Cups and Hall of Famers and classic uniforms. You? You have a statue of a guy bitching about the refs immortalized. Oh, and Trevor Linden got a gate named after him. All your so-called rituals are stolen. Your Green Men? Taken from "It's Always Sunny." Your towels? Preceded in Pittsburgh by a decade. Your PA announcer's "Woo!" after goal announcements? Taken from your most recent conquerors. Your colors? Whaler-colors. Your original logo is the most perfect, non-descript in every way, giving no indication as to what you are or what you do."


Just brilliant.

:lol: :lol: That's pretty good. I do have a question for the Hockey Illuminati of the board. After this most recent Luongo meltdown are they going to bring him back or will they try to eat some of his salary and move him to another team? After all of the rioting I can't imagine that the Vancouver fans are going to give that dog too long of a leash.

*Additional Note I do not know if it even is possible to move Luongo. I know he makes alot of money and has alot of years on his deal. One time after the Hawks won the Stanley Cup I tried to figure out how the Hockey salary cap works. I figured it was a sign to stop when I got a nosebleed.

His deal goes through the 2021-2022 season at 5.3million cap hit.

So no, they are quite stuck with him.
